c14.s8.t3.4

Rāmdās's dream saw *kalpānta*, the end of a *kalpa*, i.e., the close of an era of *pāpī*, *Mlechchha*, *Chaṇḍāla*, *abhakta* and others of the kind. And at the same time the establishment of *svadharma*, *premā*, *ānanda*, etc., was an item in the consummation achieved by the hero dreamt of. It is interesting that the *Gītā* doctrine of God's *sambhavāmi yuge yuge* (I appear age by age) was serviceable to the Maratha poet-saint of the seventeenth century in the formulation of his professedly futuristic politics.
